Hi Photographers,
Here's the topic I want to discuss in class.
Today, the government has declared by executive order that all cameras, video and still, are no longer legal to own.People are asked to turn in their cameras to the local police station to have them licensed. Also, the camera will only take a photo from the hand of the licensed owner (fingerprint technology) Only licensed cameras will be allowed to be owned by the general public.
Also, only newspapers and websites supported by the governement will be allowed to use cameras, and post photos.
Info: licensed cameras will have a device installed that:allows the government to know who took the photoallows the government to remotely dissable and destroy the cameras ability to take photos.If a camera is lossed or stolen it is the responsiblity of the camera owner to inform the police within one-hour of the loss or destroy the camera remotely by themselves.
Discuss how this would effect the following (Pro and Con for each):
1. Police- Pro: They have the advantage of not showing their bad doings into public
Con:
2. Families- Pro: When there are thieves, it could be easier to catch with the camera and the government could see
2. Families- Pro: When there are thieves, it could be easier to catch with the camera and the government could see
Con: If there bad pictures, it will get deleted
3. Students-Pro: teenagers wouldn't get to see perverted pictures
Con: Students couldn't take inappropriate pictures; limited learning resources because the government could not allow the students to look at bad pictures; students will be too optimistic because they won't see negative pictures
4. Reporters-Pro: they have to report more good things than to the bads things in the news

Con: Students couldn't take inappropriate pictures; limited learning resources because the government could not allow the students to look at bad pictures; students will be too optimistic because they won't see negative pictures
4. Reporters-Pro: they have to report more good things than to the bads things in the news
Con: They might get caught for taking pictures the government doesn't like
In summary,1 I don't think this idea would work because it against many photographer and people . Many magazine would fall and eventually there would be a mob. This idea limited education for children because government will delete every photo that make them look mad. Everything in the world will be fake photo that represent how people feel won't exist again.
